Hi. I think the magnetic dampened one of this accuracy ran another $200.00+. To me another second or two more time to weigh a cartridge wasn't that big a deal to me to justify that extra cost. But thats just me. I wasn't sure so I just threw a charge to qualify my comments. It took 5 seconds. As far as the amout of ammo you're going to reload? I just finished 4K Winchester .308 rounds for my AR-10 and 1500 for my 300 WinMag. I set my measure to throw a short charge and trickle in the difference. I didnt find it a "big deal" to be within .020 of a grain for each cartridge. I want EVERY one of my cartridges dead tits on the money. And guess what... they ALL are. Good luck
Based on the lack of magnetic dampening, I suspect that you don't feel this is a good buy for reloading a LOT of ammo. Is that a fair assessment?
The reason I ask is because when I am doing load development or even building a fair number of rounds for a given rifle once I've settled on a charge weight, I spend prodigious time in the powder weighing arena just to ensure that each cartridge fits my Cindarella criteria of being "just right."
I don't throw charges then pour them into each case as fast as possible, but I also don't want to have to take a sammich break in between weighing individual loads, either.
Obviously I'm being facetious in my comment but I'd surely like to have a scale that allows me to build my rounds in a relatively fast manner but not so fast as to be tossing TLAR (That Looks About Right) charges into the case.
So speed is important but not ALL important as opposed to accuracy in weight accountability IMO.
Which brings me back to my original question: is the time it takes to dampen out each weigh process so onerous and long that I should consider another scale altogether or is this scale (and its attendant and not-insignificant-price tag) worthy of my consideration?
TIA for any helpful suggestions and comments.
